WONDER CITY: We are sure
that all of you that have trav-
eled '‘ed over over the W country ““ nt J will agree a8 '“
’
with us when we s&y that oa-
vannah Ga.. is the South's
“Wonder City.” It's wonderful
because of the many privileges
and the rights that we can
share here that no other south- ;
ern city offers. Here in this city
we have full use of the City
ditorium, parks, most public
houses, active colored men in
the court house and city activ-
ities .We can boast of colored
Western Union boys, colored,
clerks in Broughton street
stores, colored food checkers in
white hotels, colored sheriffs,
and a colored personel depart-,
ment in the local shipyards. I
Over half of the population of
this city is colored and about
one-third of the property own-,
clo ers are colored. The other two
thirds are mixed races, Ov.r
! project nroiect houses houses are are all all well
and we have several
centers open to the boys
our race that are in the
services. We have visr
several night clubs, white,

have found that Cafe Lincoln

one of the most SW anky nite

Our school system as to hous-

but the teaching staff is tops,
if each and everyone would
try to do his or her part in or-1

out of no way for our future
Savannahians. We can’t ex-
pect the whites to give us ev-

may try to take back what *hey
